Bear Dancing

[TooManyNines99999999]

It looks more like that bear is using the tree to scratch his back than dancing to avoid pain to me.

This isn't cute!!!

Bears are taken from the wild and 'trained' to dance for tourists. The standard

method of training involves forcing a thick iron ring through the nose, which causes considerable pain

when yanked. The bears 'dance' in an attempt to avoid the pain. Alternatively, music is played whilst the

bear stands on hot plates, it will dance to stop being burnt. It will then dance whenever it hears music. (Answers.com What is bear dancing?)

This isn't an instant of that though, as you can clearly see a lack of chains and a lack of hot plates. The bear is rubbing it's back against the tree. We all know that bear dancing is cruel, and we're in no way endorsing that with this video.

@squirrel179 This is NOT a trained bear! This is from a remote sensing camera set up in the wilderness capturing a WILD bear rubbing it's back. They just set it to music because he was moving to a beat!
